nice finish to the half. now they need to turn it on and pull away big time.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Anyone else very concerned about Mazzulla in the playoffs? He lets these guys take games off. What happens whenever they actually need to be coached?

Yeah, he's still pretty green and has time to learn, but everything about his tenure thus far and his explicit philosophy is that the playoffs may be a struggle for him, as you absolutely have to be able to make in-game adjustments and manage your players throughout the game.

EDIT: And that's not even considering making adjustments between games.

Agree.  Hope they turn it on in the 2nd half.

I didn’t realize Joe was out and Damon Stoudamire is acting head coach.

I'm definitely concerned about his ability to strategize specifically for different opponents, and to make adjustments both game to game and within each individual game.

Best record in basketball and he’s not even coaching the team tonight, yet people are crapping all over him. Lol.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

We’ll see if that means anything once opponents are keying in on the C’s for a full series. Sometimes it’s good to rock the boat.

Who needs a timeout when you “let the team talk to each other” half the time?

They just made it to the Finals and have a target on their back. Teams are getting up for them every game.
